Another Unintentionally Bringing Joy to Strangers Story

I don't know how unintentional that one is Ron; I think a joke like that would bring joy to anyone with a good sense of humor

I think it's great that it was a good experience though. I've had mixed experiences with some of them; none have outright said anything, but I have been given "that" look of disapproval whilst being visually sized up (not much here to size up to be honest), but others have complimented the kilt. I had one come up to me and the conversation went something like:

Guy: "Boy, you wearing that kilt really pisses me off."
Me (a bit unnerved): "Why's that?"
Guy: "Cuz I don't have big enough balls to wear one!"

That was followed by a good laugh and we ended up talking for a few minutes. He was just a big guy with an equally big sense of humor

Btw, were you able to talk any of them into getting a kilt? If anyone can do it, it's probably you.

Cheers,

The only thing remotely close to convincing a biker to get a kilt has been a local disabled vet who rides one of those high powered electric scooter chairs. He lost his left leg just below the knee and often lets the stump hang out below his kilts...

Have had lots of compliments on my kilts from bikers - don't ever recall one asking me where to get one themselves...

Unless you count my little brother Islandkilt who rides motors all the time...or did until he retired last month.

My hat is off to that gentleman, not only for his service, but for proudly wearing his kilt.

I had one a bit like that last weekend, at Tanforan Shopping Center in San Bruno. I'd decided to combine a couple of movies with some book shopping and a bite to eat at Hooters, all in the same center. Barnes & Noble wasn't very busy as I walked in, and three store clerks were chatting with each other as I walked in. I'd gotten about 20 feet past them when I heard one say to the others, "Damn, I wish I could wear a kilt! SON of a BITCH!!"

Hey Ron -- If bikers could ever be persuaded to try kilting, I'm betting they'd go for a leather one!
